Sharing the Gospel. Uplifting Lives. Serving Communities with Compassion.​
 
 
 

Favored Evangelistic Ministries International (FEM-I) is a Christian ministry committed to restoring hope, strengthening faith, and empowering communities through the love of Jesus Christ. What began as a small act of obedience in rural Uganda has grown into a mission touching lives across villages, towns, and digital spaces.

​

Our Story

 

FEM-I began in the villages of western Uganda through the simple but courageous faith of a young boy, Lamech Natukwatsa. After giving his life to Christ, he faced rejection at home and in his community. Yet he continued to pray, read Scripture by lamplight, and gather neighbors quietly from house to house.

 

Those early moments of prayer and fellowship in humble settings became the foundation of a ministry that would grow steadily over the decades.

​

Humble Beginnings

 

The first years of FEM-I were marked by simplicity and perseverance. Prayer meetings were held in living rooms, on verandas, and beneath trees. Evangelism was done on foot, by bicycle, and later with shared transport.

 

Drums played by the roadside drew people together for worship, encouragement, and fellowship, forming small groups of believers who continued to meet regularly even when conditions were difficult.

​

Growing Village Fellowships

 

Over time, these small fellowships multiplied across western Uganda and beyond. Often referred to as “branches,” many still worship without permanent buildings, meeting in family compounds, borrowed rooms, unfinished structures, or under temporary shelters.

Each fellowship represents a community choosing faith, prayer, and unity despite limited facilities.

A Mobile Ministry

 

For most of its history, FEM-I has operated as a mobile ministry. Crusades, teaching sessions, prayer gatherings, and community outreach programs are frequently held in open spaces or rented venues.

 

Tents, chairs, sound systems, and generators are transported from one location to another, with fuel, maintenance, and generator power remaining essential—especially in rural areas where electricity is unstable or unavailable.

 

This mobility has enabled FEM-I to reach many underserved communities while operating without a permanent base.

​

Expanding Through Media

 

As technology advanced, FEM-I embraced digital platforms to extend its reach. Livestream services on Facebook and YouTube now connect with viewers across Uganda, East Africa, and beyond.

​

These online gatherings continue the ministry’s original mission—offering teaching, encouragement, and prayer to those seeking hope, wherever they may be.

Our Commitment to People

 

At the heart of FEM-I is a deep commitment to people. Over the years, the ministry has developed initiatives such as:

​

• Children’s biblical teaching programs

• Youth fellowship and mentorship

• Women’s empowerment gatherings

• Literacy support

• Worship and creative arts teams

• Basic skills and life-training programs

 

Each initiative was created to uplift families and strengthen communities using the resources available at the time.

​

Looking Ahead

 

After many years of mobile outreach, FEM-I continues to pray and plan for a permanent home—the Transformation Center—where worship, training, discipleship, and community support can grow in a structured and sustainable way.

​

While the vision expands, the heart of the ministry remains unchanged:

​

• To reach those who feel forgotten

• To strengthen believers in their faith

• To walk alongside communities with compassion, dignity, and hope

 

FEM-I remains committed to being the hands and feet of Jesus—today and for generations to come.
